Liu Dongxing took a closer look and was happy: "Who else should I be, it turned out to be you Hu Fat, I haven't seen you for a few days, it turns out that you came to Pingyang." ”

It turned out that the leader of the Pingyang General Administration Division was none other than him, but he was familiar with him when he was working in the General Administration Division in the past, his big name was Hu Jinquan, he was short and fat, and he had a philistine face. He was originally an old qualification in the General Administration Department, and the trap set by Zhu Jingcheng, the prince of Dongping, was originally led by him in secret, Liu Dongxing was assisted by the side at that time, and he knew his methods well, so when he saw that the Pingyang General Administration Department was his main business, most of the worries in his heart had been put down.

In fact, Liu Dongxing has another thought in his heart: at the beginning, he took advantage of his position to manipulate the trap set by the General Administration Department for Zhu Jingcheng, and involved Zheng Lijun, the eldest lady of the Zheng family, which is not a visible thing, and the method is not secret. Luo Mingmin only guessed the truth from a little clue, let alone an old qualification like Hu Jinquan, but he didn't say a word. Liu Dongxing was grateful to him for his kindness, and he was a little closer to him.

Hu Jinquan said with a smile: "Our Xiaoliu brothers have all been promoted, from the fourth rank of General Xuanwu, and our right and right Tongzheng are only half a level behind, my Hu Fat Man is also an old man of the Tongzheng Division, naturally I can't be willing to be behind." What do you think? Brother Xiaoliu, this time you gave your brother such a big business, and when your brother is promoted, I will definitely invite you back, you can choose any place, how about it? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "That...... How is Longsheng House? "It's a famous restaurant in the capital, the dishes are notoriously good, and the prices are notoriously expensive.

Hu Jinquan immediately screamed: "No, Xiaoliu, you are deliberately trying to kill me, just find a similar one, whether it is Qianxianglou or a famous restaurant, Longsheng will be exempted." ”

Liu Dongxing laughed, stepped forward and hugged Hu Jinquan fiercely: "Good Brother Hu, when I see you, my heart is steady, no matter who he is, I don't want to escape from the palm of our general secretary."

Hu Jinquan hugged him vigorously and raised his eyebrows: "Of course, otherwise my brother wouldn't have been able to run so far to this place, let's just wait for that group of little rabbits to fall into the net."

After the greetings, Hu Jinquan introduced a few more subordinates to him, and then everyone sat down to discuss business. Liu Dongxing elaborated on what he knew, and then said: "I contacted everyone, not for anything else, first, I wanted to find reliable people to secretly send the Su family sisters and brothers away, and second, I also wanted to find a helping hand to control the group of people outside." No matter what they want to do in Cannes, we know it all. It's a pity that I'm already in the army now, and I don't have a few reliable people around me, so I can't do so much, and I suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no last resort, and all the arrangements along the south of the Dongjiang River have been arranged, so how can I ignore Pingyang? That's why I have asked you for help. ”

"What do you say to ask for help," Hu Jinquan said, "We have been lurking here for more than two months, but we haven't gotten any useful news, only know King Kang."

The eight princes of the palace took a milk doll that was said to be the youngest son of King Kang and lived in the house of a rich man in Kangcheng, who had hundreds of shops and hundreds of acres of fertile land in Kangcheng, and was also a famous person in this area. But as soon as they moved into someone's house, they never went out again. I sent someone to keep an eye on the rich man, to see who he was meeting back and forth, but he couldn't find anything unusual, it was really annoying, seeing that it was getting colder and colder today, and there was a lot of ice floes on the river, and maybe when the sailings would be suspended, and then the news on both sides of the strait would not be connected, even if there was an important letter, it would not be able to come, I was anxious, fortunately, Xiaoyanagi, you came, and brought us this good clue, we finally have a job to do."

Liu Dongxing hurriedly asked: "Don't we have any manpower in Cannes?" Why do you need to communicate between the two places? ”

"Kangcheng originally had a branch, and he asked someone to serve it silently" Hu Jinquan was annoyed as soon as he talked about it, "This is still a matter of summer, you haven't come back from the northern Xinjiang at that time, except for the hundreds of people left in the general administration department to guard the territory of a few restless vassal kings, everyone else is staring at the north, so people are taking advantage of the loopholes." More than 20 people from the Cannes branch were all gone overnight, and even the bones could not be found. The Pingyang branch once sneaked back to investigate, there are really no clues left, even the murderous mansion is called the government to be sentenced to the official, and it has already been demolished clean, what else do you not understand? The imperial court sent officials down to let them guard the place of Kangcheng, so that the people of Kangwangfu would be used as a prestige again, but those useless wastes were bought instead."

Another member of the Pingyang branch next to him persuaded him: "Don't be angry, my lord, it's all the old people in King Kang's mansion, when we have collected all the evidence of their consumption, hand it over, and tell them all to land on the ground, and the brothers of the Kangcheng branch will not die in vain."

Hu Jinquan relieved his anger a little, and said to Liu Dongxing: "King Kang's Mansion has been operating in Kangcheng for nearly a hundred years, and the forces are intertwined, so we don't dare to easily send people over to build a branch office, so we can only send more people to Pingyang and then act across the ground." You're here, so let's borrow your strength to cross the river, gain a foothold in Cannes, and see how they stop us."

Liu Dongxing's face was calm, and he changed his original plan slightly: "This is no problem, you can send a few more people." Those minions of King Zheng's Mansion want to borrow my boat to cross the river, and they must also be planning to borrow my hand to sneak into the territory of King Kang's Mansion, so let's let the boat be pushed down the river, give them a convenient trip, and report a message to the guys in King Kang's Mansion by the way, as for what kind of letter it is, let's consider it again, so that they can eat dogs, fight among themselves, and give evil anger to the dead brothers."

Hu Jinquan smiled gloomily: "Okay, Brother Xiaoliu, then our brother's livelihood in Cannes depends on you, even if you command, don't be polite."

Not to mention how a few people in the General Administration Department discussed, early the next morning, Wen Yi handed over the prepared New Year's gifts to Qiuguo, "Hexiang" and others, and then sent Gu Wang and other two servants and a family member to follow, and let them go to Guzhuang with the hired car dealer "movers".

After sending the people away, Wen Yi ordered someone to pack their luggage

, Liu Dongxing came over to accompany her on the boat.

Wang Da and other people sent by Zheng Wangfu had already kept an eye on the movements of the Liu family, and when they saw them on the boat, they hurriedly followed them, and when they arrived on the boat, they pretended to sort out the sundries, and secretly paid attention to Liu Dongxing himself, for fear that he would find out that something was wrong. Seeing that he just glanced around casually, and then looked at the weather, and did not pay attention to the boatmen around him, those people were secretly relieved. After a while, Shu Ping ran over to find the ship's boss, and several "boatmen" hurriedly hid, and after a while, they resurfaced to see what he said, and found that he was just telling some cautious words, and they all cursed secretly.

The ship finally sailed. Wen Yi looked at the ferry head that was gradually moving away outside the window, and turned back to ask Runxin: "How is everyone?" Is anyone unwell? ”

Runxin shook her head: "It doesn't matter to everyone, it's just that Lianxin is a little dizzy, and she has been much better after taking the medicine given by Da * milk, and she is resting in the cabin." After a pause, "Big * milk, but who's on the boat?" ”

Wen Yi looked up at her: "Why do you ask that?" ”

Runxin said: "If it weren't for some amazing person on the ship, why would the big * grandmother let Hexiang hide in the cabin as that Miss Su?" If it's just to send Miss Su away quietly, there's no need to let Hexiang pretend to be her. The slave maid thought, the big * milk must be hiding from someone by doing this, and that person is probably on the boat, right? ”

Wen Yi smiled: "I think you are a smart person, and it is true." Keep this in your heart, and when you can say it, I will tell you. Don't ask, don't tell anyone, if someone asks, you can find an excuse to send it away. In short, Miss Su is still on the boat now. ”

"Yes, slave maid understands." Runxin bowed his knees, and at this time Liu Dongxing strode in: "Lady, we really didn't guess wrong" Seeing this, Runxin hurriedly avoided it.

Wen Yi hurriedly asked, "What are those people doing on the boat?" ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "My lady is so smart, just listen to my words, you guessed that those boys made a move" He approached Wen Yi and whispered: "They are trying their best to make friends with our subordinates, and they are also looking for excuses to talk to the soldiers who escorted us, some say that they are fellow villagers, and some say that they know the same friend, all the reasons are complete." The most ridiculous thing is that there is a villager who wants to learn the local dialect to win the trust of others, but he asked people to expose the local dialect on the spot and was laughed at. Those soldiers were not stupid people, they probably saw something, and they didn't bother with them anymore. ”

Wen Yi's eyes rolled: "What do they want to ...... Borrowing friendship to plan for the future, right? ”

"Ten haves" Liu Dongxing frowned, "It seems that they crossed the river with us, and they really have a plan, just right, our original intention is to control them in the palm of our hands, what method should we use to make them take the bait?" ”

Wen Yi pursed her lips and smiled: "Since it is Jiang Taigong fishing, it is natural that the fish will take the bait on their own." They want to make friends with soldiers and servants so that they can get close to us in the future, right? So how about we give them that chance? ”

Liu Dongxing raised his eyebrows: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Wen Yi whispered a few words in his ear.

Today, the wind and waves on the Dongjiang River were calm, and it took less than an hour for the two large ships hired by Liu Dongxing to reach the other side of the river. The dock in Cannes is extremely long and huge, and the place where they landed, I don't know whether it was intentional or unlucky, was already a relatively remote place at one end of the pier. There were only seven or eight coolie men on the shore waiting to be hired, and when they saw a boat coming ashore, they all gathered around.

Liu Dongxing's group brought a lot of servants, and there had never been a shortage of manpower before, but somehow, today suddenly a few girls were weak because of seasickness, and they had no strength to carry their luggage. Wen Yi specially sent someone to the front and told Liu Dongxing about this in front of everyone.

I saw Liu Dongxing frowning: "Then let the people who are okay go a few more times, move the things down, load the car and leave, you can't work the soldiers who are serious." Aren't there hired men on the shore? Ask them where they came from, and if they are reliable, hire them to summon them. ”

When Wen Yi heard this, she called the girls and the ladies and went off the boat with her, and someone on the shore had already prepared a sedan chair. After they left, Shu Ping called a few hired workers to get on the boat, asked for their names and addresses, and asked them to carry their luggage.

Seeing this, several "boatmen" who pretended to be busy looked at each other, and one of the little men took the lead, stepped forward and asked Shu Ping with a smile: "Steward Shu, what are you doing with these people?" ”

Shu Ping had already received Liu Dongxing's instructions, so he showed impatience: "Nonsense, naturally let them carry their luggage, many of our subordinates are from the north, as soon as they get on the boat, they will be dizzy, and they will be tossed for an hour, where is the strength to move things?" I had no choice but to hire someone else. ”

The little man's eyes lit up: "Steward Shu, a few of our brothers have not worked after this trip, and they all plan to go to Cannes to find some odd jobs to do and earn some money for the New Year." If you want to hire someone, it is better to hire us, because we have a lot of strength, and we are acquaintances, it is better than finding someone from outside who does not know the roots. ”

Shu Ping frowned, as if thinking, one of the coolies passed by and heard it, and hurriedly scolded the little man: "How do you speak? Why don't we know the roots? Who on the dock doesn't know that I, Wang Dali? You have to grab a job, and see if you have the confidence" to stand next to the little man, the contrast between high and low, fat and thin is too strong, and anyone who sees it will know who to choose as a coolie.

The little man was furious in his heart, thinking that grandpa was a serious palace guard, why wasn't he more confident than you? It's just that he didn't dare to say this, so he could only endure it.

Wang Dali continued to recommend himself to Shu Ping, Shu Ping was impatient, and waved his hand: "Okay, let's all come together, don't quarrel, our general is not short of those big sons"

So the "boatmen" and "porters" have become the coolies hired by Liu Dongxing, and when the luggage is loaded into the car, Shu Ping stepped forward to pay off the wages, and the little man secretly discussed a few words with his companions, and was about to find Shu Ping to speak, when he saw Wang Dali interject: "Master steward, my name is Wang Dali, and I live at the entrance of Chunshu Street, you."

If you feel that our brothers are honest and easy to call, and there will be work in the future, whether it is carrying things, sending letters and running errands, buying things, or looking for people to inquire about things, even if you come to me, I will definitely do it for you."

"You're telling the truth?"

"Naturally, it's true that you are a regular customer, and if I don't charge you more, you won't have to bother to find someone else."

Seeing that they were about to reach an agreement, the little man scolded in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Shu is in charge, our brothers are also ......"

When Wen Yi arrived at the Cannes Station and was about to contact the Gu family's property manager in Cannes, a thin piece of paper was also delivered to Liu Dongxing. After reading the words on the paper, he smiled slightly: "Qianxianglou?" Is...... Tender ah......".
